1. The skin becomes dull and dry. The liver is the largest blood-storing organ in the body. Once the liver is damaged, the efficiency of the body’s blood circulation will be reduced. The face is the place with the most capillaries, and the blood circulation will be poor. There will be more damaged and expanded capillaries, and a lot of small blood clots This kind of dark and dry morbid skin face, which we also call “liver disease face”, is usually accompanied by complications such as yellowing of the skin and yellowing of the eyeballs.
2. Fatigue more easily. If you often feel tired, even after a good night’s sleep in bed, you still feel very weak and unable to lift yourself up. Also watch out for symptoms of liver disease. According to a study published in the Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, the most typical symptom of liver damage is called “hepatic fatigue”, because fatigue is highly correlated with weakness, and liver damage leads to frequent inflammation and metabolic effects. main factor of weakness.
It can be seen that if you are also prone to fatigue, it is safe to go to the hospital for an examination as soon as possible, and to carry out nursing treatment for the liver in time.
3. Dark urine appears more frequently. Generally speaking, if we drink less water on weekdays, the color of the urine will be very dark. However, if you drink water normally on weekdays, but the color of your urine remains brown or dark yellow, you need to pay attention. This is because when liver cells are damaged, the concentration of bilirubin in the body increases, and bilirubin will flow out through the body’s metabolic system. Frequent and abnormal dark urine means that the content of bilirubin is high, so it is reversed. There is a risk of liver damage, and you must also be alert to such phenomena.
4. Body edema or fluid retention. When liver cells are damaged for a long time, liver fibrosis and liver cirrhosis are common diseases. At this time, because the blood circulation of the liver itself is affected, the venous pressure increases, and most of the body fluids will accumulate in the abdomen and legs, resulting in fluid retention and edema. Once such a situation exists, it is mostly related to the damage to the health of the liver. It is the best choice to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
Experts suggest that avoiding some bad habits can also help your liver health:
1. Stay up late. The habit of staying up late can be said to be the source of most diseases, and the liver is no exception. Often staying up late can easily lead to insufficient blood supply to liver cells, damage the original cell structure, and increase the risk of liver damage. Liver function will also appear due to insufficient rest. influence.
2. Excessive drinking. The liver is one of the metabolic organs of the human body. Frequent drinking will increase the burden of the liver metabolizing alcohol, and the liver tissue itself will also be stimulated by alcohol, which in turn induces alcoholic hepatitis, fatty liver, and even increases the risk of liver cancer.
3. Get angry at every turn. Studies have found that people who are easily angry have an 8 times higher risk of developing liver disease than ordinary people. Frequent anger can lead to symptoms of liver qi stagnation, and it is also easy to cause damage to liver tissue. Only by living an optimistic life on weekdays can better protect the liver. healthy.
